The ratio of molecular mass of two radio...

The ratio of molecular mass of two radioactive substances is `3//2` and the ratio of their decay constant is `4//3`. Then. The ratio of their initial activity per mole will be

A

`2`

B

`(8)/(9)`

C

`(4)/(3)`

D

`(9)/(8)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Activity, `R=lambdaN`. Number of nuclei `N` per mole are equal for both the substance.
`:. R prop lambda`
or `(R_(1))/(R_(2)) =(lambda_(1))/(lambda_(2)) =(4)/(3)`.
